Max Pressure from Zhugralin
Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Damir Zhugralin opened to 3,500 from under the gun and received calls from a player on the button and Felipe Ketzer, who placed runner up in the Main Event roughly 15 hours ago for $249,200, in the big blind.
All three players checked the A♥10♥8♠ flop leading to the A♠ turn. Ketzer checked, Zhugralin bet 3,900 and the player on the button raised to 11,000. Ketzer got out of the way and Zhugralin bumped it up to 24,500. The button called.
On the 8♣ river Zhugralin bet 85,000 and this time it was enough to force a fold from his one remaining opponent.
